Credentialing Assistance

Overview

The Army's Credentialing Assistance (CA) Program provides Soldiers with funding for more than 1,900 credentials.

NEW! Effective 19 March 2026, Officers (01-10) are no longer eligible for CA (Warrant officers and enlisted Soldiers remain eligible).

 

FTA - What Do I Get?

FTA now funds up to $250 per semester hour for up to 18 semester hours each fiscal year—all towards tuition to advance your education. Here's a look at the FTA lifetime limits of the program:

  • 130 undergraduate semester hours
  • 39 graduate semester hours
  • 21 semester hours towards an academic certificate

To be eligible, your college or university must be regionally or nationally accredited—and an ArmyIgnitED participant.

 

FTA CAN be used simultaneously with Chapter 1606/MGIB-SR for the same course, when attending half-time or more.
